hey failing trapeze artist,

You can always try dropping down to three subjects; this is still considered a full-time study load, however, going part-time is not the end of the world. Uni will always be there and if dropping down to part time study means you will be able to balance work, study, fun, and generally enjoy your life more, then go for it. You’re not at uni to smash through a degree, you’re also here to learn about yourself and be enriched by your experiences. Give part time a go for a Semester and see what happens–you can always bump back up.
